Problem solved.
The whole "Created it in six days, 5000 years ago" is relative, in terms of GOD TIME. What is that, like a couple of minutes for God? Less?
I don't have to prove anything. Evolution is a strong theory. I believe in evolution. I also believe that God created evolution.
Is this reasoning flawed? Is there an inherent contradiction in my blend of the two sides? Is this logically allowed?

I don't think your reasoning is flawed, in that the two ideas can coexist. Logically, you have a problem because you presuppose the existence of a supernatural creator, then try to fit the evidence to that presupposition, but
I think your approach is how most christians and jews deal with evolution. The problem is that the creationists believe in the literal truth of the Bible - as in the earth is 5000 years old, macroevolution does not take place, etc.
The ID folks are careful not to insist on the biblical story of creation, but rather try to poke holes in evolutionary theory
